bark on the old tree
i would become an artist
just to draw this bark
one day i will be a tree
one day i will feel better

The poem feels very raw and sad as if one were coming to terms of accepting fate, which is quite refreshing. Then the picture or painting gives me a feeling of the arrays of emotion from happy to sad to regret and other things that happen to us along the way. Just like a tree we all start from something like a seedling and eventually become more, hopefully able to withstand the pressures of the environment or the world. I could be entirely off about my interpretation of what I feel in terms of the poem and picture but I just felt like saying it is magnificent, regardless.

Yet isn’t the bark much like skin, there to keep the nutrients in and to protect the inner parts from the outside threats?
